Rebel and the Reason is the first extended play (EP) by British-Australian recording artist Reece Mastin, released through Social Family Records on 1 May 2015. The five-track EP contains the single of the same name and four new tracks. The EP was described as ‘an edgier, rock-laden new sound’ lying dormant in Reece. Mastin said, "I can definitely say that this is completely 100% me and I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out."[1]
